When last in Turkey, when asked ´nasılsın´ a phrase was used as an alternative to ´iyim´ it started with s(I think) and was two words that went well together. It was explained to me as ´so-so´ or ´fifty-fifty´

Any ideas?

Thanks

I prefer answering by "idare eder" but I guess you want this answer: "şöyle böyle"

That´s the one, but would you advise ´idare eder´?

Thanks

It´s my personal prefference. And "şöyle böyle" sounds like only tourist say it for me. I don´t know why it is in my mind, maybe that was used only by my German teacher when I was a little kid learning German

lol I was shocked when I heard it from my Slovenian friend though but we like it

Tako tako in Slovenian hehe

We learn it one of the first things so we can use it to answer a certain question

Can you speak Turkish ?   lol

Do you want me to answer with şöyle böyle? I´m Turkish

Hee,heee,yes ,i know you are one of the teachers  here

No, meant we learn that word,so we use it when anyone asks us if we can speak Turkish

So we just say şöyle böyle

It´s better than çok biraz

 İf i knew it then on that time,i would have used it

But my Turkish was even that bad lol
